The Irish Farmers Association has launched a nationwide campaign which will see farmers putting up ‘No Dogs Allowed’ posters on farm gates across the country.
The organisation say it is an unprecedented step, in response to the rise in sheep attacks.
They say a failure to put appropriate sanctions in place to punish the irresponsible and reckless behaviour of some dog owners means the only way to protect ewes that will be lambing in the coming weeks is to stop the threat at source and refuse all dog walkers access to their lands.
